The Truth of Magic

156 Back to the past (1/2)

“Alright then. you should wear this pair of shoes first.” antonya said.

advance reward?

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but start to guess the difficulty of this test.

however, he was still very fast. he immediately put on the dark red leather teleportation boots. they were very comfortable and fit his feet.

Now, he could be considered a person with three pieces of magic equipment.

there were more than ten pieces of equipment on zhao xu’s body. at least his cloak and boots were equipped with magic equipment.

Compared to the majority of players, he was considered extremely rich.

“teacher, what is the test content?” Zhao Xu said as he patted the dust off his body.

” find the molin stone tablet and remember its contents. come back and tell me. ” antonya said softly.

molin’s stone tablet?

zhao xu wondered if there were any moreins ‘stone steles around mystra.

he immediately tried to use his knowledge skill to check it, but it failed completely.

“where are you from?” zhao xu asked.

“You’ll know when you get close to the stone tablet.” Antonya looked at Zhao Xu with a smile on her face.

“Transmigration?”

that’s right. I’ve traveled back to the Dark Age.

Zhao Xu’s heart immediately sank.

in the dark age, the association of mages would only refer to that period-before the establishment of the magic civilization.

Was he going to cross the river of history and return to the past?

that’s right. I’ll use a legendary spell to send you back to that era. Antonya said, ” don’t worry. At that time, there weren’t many official Wizards yet. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you were invincible with the level 2 spells you’ve mastered now.

no, teacher, is it that easy to travel back to the past? ” Zhao Xu already had a bad feeling about this.

Wouldn’t that mean that legendary-mages could go back to the past and tamper with history?

“It won’t be easy, and the requirements are very high. For example, I can’t go back easily because the time channel can’t bear my power. Only a few creatures, such as the time Dragon, can go back.”

“But don’t think about changing the past. It’s not that easy. As for why, you’ll know after you reach legend.” Antonya said.

“Alright, then.” zhao xu was a little confused. ” then how do i get back? ”

“Just shout my name,” antonya said.

even though zhao xu didn’t think it was very reliable, he still nodded his head obediently.

if magic was still in its infancy, then he would not have to worry too much if he went back to the past and relied on his equipment.

“Mentor, then shouldn’t you give me a few more pieces of equipment?” Zhao Xu also started to shamelessly state his price.

“ha, even if i give you a divine weapon, you might not be able to bring it over.” antonya said.

Suddenly, a huge magic ritual circle emerged on the ground of the entire magic Battle Room. The countless arcane words sketched on the ground were directly activated, and they spread out in a star shape to the edge.

antonya also started to chant the incantation, and with every syllable that she said, it was as if thunder was booming in zhao xu’s ears.

In an instant, the magic array on the ground began to emit purple lightning. It kept shooting into the air and slowly condensed into a ball of lightning.

the center of the sphere was so hot that smoke was coming out of it, and the outer circle was shining with a blue light.

In an instant, the ball of lightning seemed to have been torn apart, and a hole appeared in the center.

“Hurry up and go in.” Antonya’s tone was still calm, but it was a little rushed.

Zhao Xu quickly jogged over to the ball of lightning. Just as he was about to get close, a strong gravitational force appeared at the intersection point of space and time. It twisted Zhao Xu’s body and then slowly shrank until he disappeared.

———————–

Zhao Xu looked at the cracked ground under his feet and fell into deep thought.

the heat waves in the air kept surging over, and it was as if there was a huge furnace buried underground, constantly roasting the pedestrians on the ground.

Zhao Xu looked up and saw that the trees in the distance had all dried up from the heat. The entire Elmwood had completely withered and died.

endure the environment. zhao xu cast a level 1 spell on himself.

this spell could keep him normal in an environment of-45 to 60 degrees celsius, preventing him from being frostbitten or hurt by heat waves.

The heat wave that was initially burning up was instantly dispelled, and it was as if a constant temperature environment had appeared around Zhao Xu. Even the hot air that he breathed into his lungs felt a little better.

Zhao Xu looked at the ground in front of him and couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

where was he supposed to find the stone tablet that antonya wanted?

[adventurer zhongxia, you’ve been attacked from a distance. starry cloak’s effect has been activated.]

Zhao Xu felt a weight on his shoulder, as if a powerful force had slammed into him.

he jerked his head back and saw three soldiers in leather armor pointing their bows at him.

however, they all had a look of shock on their faces, as if they couldn’t believe it.

there was an arrow in front of zhao xu that had been broken in two. it had obviously been destroyed by his cloak.

He was ambushed?

Zhao Xu didn’t think that he would let his guard down to this extent and get ambushed before he could even react.

Perhaps when he teleported here, the three of them had already been lurking around, waiting for him to cast a spell before they attacked him.

“Who are you?” Zhao Xu asked.

However, the leader of the group shouted, “run! This wizard is very strong!

Then, the three of them hurriedly ran into the depths of the forest.

zhao xu watched the three of them disappear into the distance, but he didn’t try to chase after them.

In the era of magic civilization, magic was a taboo that people feared?

She was so afraid that she wanted to attack him the moment she saw him.

Zhao Xu didn’t think too much about this situation and immediately cast the level 1 divine spell, Leyline detection.

after three rounds, zhao xu put down the small magnetic stone magic item in his hand.

A wisp of green spirit Qi was emitted from his fingertip, and then it burrowed into the ground.

Gradually, a map began to appear in his mind. From the village to the ruins, the outline was slowly outlined in his mind and gradually took shape.

Zhao Xu looked at the map in his mind that had a radius of almost 100 kilometers. It basically covered the general situation of the surrounding area.

It was all thanks to this Level 4 Druid divine spell, which was only Level 1 for the Ranger that Zhao Xu was able to get such detailed information in this unfamiliar place.

zhao xu looked at the location of a village on the map. he thought to himself that even if the villagers were afraid of the mages, he would still have to go and ask them.

after all, he couldn’t find any stone tablet on the entire map.

zhao xu considered the fact that the village wasn’t that far from here, so he decided to just walk over. he didn’t dare to waste any more spell slots.

Just walking on the road, he felt that this land seemed to be dead.

There was no sign of life at all.

The heat wave that came from nowhere had already destroyed all life that had not yet grown.

not to mention trying to plant crops, even a bowl of water on the dry ground would immediately evaporate.

Zhao Xu kept walking for more than half an hour and slowly got closer to the village that was closest to him.

out of careful consideration, he cast a first-level magical technique, the disguising technique, on himself.

this simple illusion could change his clothes and body shape into different styles. it could even change his appearance and make him taller or shorter.

zhao xu’s original wizard outfit was quite eye-catching, and he immediately changed into a traveler’s appearance.

But when Zhao Xu got closer to the village, he realized that there wasn’t a single sound coming from the entire village.

He prepared his spells as he walked in.

a few days ago, he wouldn’t have dared to come in alone without casting all his spells.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and turbulent rivers produce unruly people.

Just now, the three people he had encountered by chance wanted to shoot him to death without saying a word. Even if he was a spell caster, it was too much.

But right now, Zhao Xu had a Star Cloak that made him immune to normal weapons.

he did have some combat power when he was not fighting. it couldn’t be that magical weapons were common before the magic era, right?

however, the village in front of him was eerily quiet, as if no one had ever existed, let alone the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs.

even the doors of the wooden houses near the village entrance were wide open.

zhao xu tried to walk into an empty room and search around. he realized that some of the things that were easy to take away had already been moved away, and what was left was mostly heavy wooden furniture that couldn’t be moved.

it was as if they were fleeing from a calamity.

“is anyone there?” Zhao Xu tried to call out.

The invisibility spell on his body was ready to be cast at any time.

once something went wrong, he would immediately cast a spell and then take advantage of the chaos to escape the battle.

As long as these villagers didn’t react quickly enough to find paint or flour and immediately scatter them all over him, they wouldn’t be able to see him again.

after that, zhao xu looked through another three or four houses and was pretty much certain that the people in this village had all fled.

Zhao Xu was holding a letter in his hand. It was written by a father who was on the run, and he was telling his son that his family was going to escape to the Molin stone stele in the mountains.

the priest had told the people of the village that they could only be forgiven by the fire god if they went there to offer sacrifices.

only in this way could the curse on this land be absolved.

zhao xu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought as he held the letter in his hand.

In the later eras, the elemental gods had basically all died out.

Even the fire elemental princes who were of high seniority only dared to hide in the four elemental planes.

When faced with the mages ‘summoning, they were all at their beck and call.

it was only during the dark age that the elemental gods could be considered overlords.

zhao xu put the letter back on the table after he finished reading it and waited for its true owner to arrive.

he then turned around and headed towards the mountain behind the village.

however, there was a heavy feeling in his heart, because the letter also contained an oracle from the fire god-

Kill all Wizards.
